Look what arrived today! From my long-time friend Jen Lancaster, this is her book “Welcome to The United States of Anxiety” I can’t wait to dive in! Here’s a little synopsis from the editor: “ “Jen Lancaster began writing Welcome to the United States of Anxiety at a time when no one—least of all me—could envision where 2020 would take us. Yet, from where I’ve sat for the past several months, hunkered down in my office / living room / gym and questioning just about every way our systems of society function, I’ve started to wonder if Jen is slightly clairvoyant.* How else could she have known how deeply each of us would need a moment of connection and commiseration and a road map to let go of our generalized anxiety so we might focus on the things that matter? Identifying her growing anxiety over topics like the environment, body image, fashion, and home envy, Jen pored over expert studies and her own observations to gain greater understanding of why she couldn’t just calm down. Emerging on the other side of her studies, Jen has brought her signature humor and insight to subjects that leave many of us feeling defeated and overwhelmed. This book will make you laugh. It will challenge your expectations. It will question the ways you engage—on social media, with your friends, with your family, with your neighbors. It will highlight small, everyday ways that will help you feel more in control and will give you permission to take a breath and stop being so hard on everyone, including yourself. Break out this book on any old night. Turn your phone to silent. Maybe light a candle and relax in a comfortable spot. Take a slow, long sip of a beverage of your choosing, and prepare to have a chat with your sharpest, funniest, possibly psychic girlfriend. She’s here to help. * Disclaimer: This book does not contain any lottery numbers or personalized advice for your love life.” #jenlancaster #humor #popculture #nytimesbestsellingauthor (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN6ae2MHytZ/?igshid=sj8sbi6ymmui
